I drove a VW passat (bio/ngt gas hybrid) for years.
This stuff pissed me of so much that together with the Exxon stuff I will never own a VW or a fossil ICE car ever again.
I went for the Leaf as I can fit a double buggy in the trunk and it has a good enough range. Not cheap but it’s what I can do as a consumer in this liberal market economy.
Good job, greedy bastards! :)
Side note - using an EV have given me for the third time kind of an technology epiphany experience:
1. Internet
2. The first iphone
3. Now, the EV
Charging in the garage over night, never visting a gas station other than for coffe on the road. It’s awesome!
What’s so incredibly convenient is that the grid is built out already, i.e the infrastructure is in place, and has been for decades.
Imagine someone suggesting we haul this toxic and highly flammable stuff called “gasoline” around the world to “stations”... what a ludicrous idea!
I see parallells to music and media distribution and the internet.
- zafka 8y agoThis whole imbroglio was a painful learning experience for me. For several years before I bought my used jetta TDI, I started looking into Bio Diesel. I still have 12 Jatropha Curcas trees in my back yard, which were to be the start of a possible startup. I am greatful for the learning experience, but I keep waiting for the wisdom that is supposed to make up a little for the aggravation of aging.
